We’ve delved into The Star’s archives to bring you these pictures of life in the Steel City in 1983.
From the Fargate jester, to The Animals rocking out on stage at the City Hall, to a protest against the-then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher visiting the Cutler’s Hall, this gallery of pictures show a different Sheffield to the one we’re used to today.
Take a look through for a slice of life in the ‘80s.
